77 bars, 5:14, at 53 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.
86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-13, ride through bars 14-18, hi-hat through bars 19-27, ride through bars 28-49 and silence through bars 50-52, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 14, 28 and 30, and 3 more places -- 8.3% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

It cuts the song into 46 exercises -- the grooves, the fills, and the joins between sections, which is where players actually come off -- and puts them in the order a teacher would. Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.
53 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.
86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 70 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
77 bars, about 5:14 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 15 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
23 fills to learn, played 36 times: bars 4, 8, 13, 15, 17, 18 and 30 more.
